November 10, 2009

National Park Service officials on Tuesday were looking for the public's help to determine who dumped 77 tires at the Taylors Landing boat ramp in the Chesapeake and Ohio National Historical Park, according to a press release from the park.

The dumping of the tires, which occurred Oct. 14, involved tires ranging in size from tractor tires to all-terrain vehicle tires, the release said.

Due to the large number of tires dumped, it is believed more than one person was involved, the release said.

Anyone with information about the incident may call 866-677-6677 or 301-491-6259. A $500 reward was being offered for information leading to a conviction in the case, the release said.
